I don't really feel addicted to 5 cigarettes a day

What's really funny is the OP made one post, the opening salvo, and three pages of posts mostly to slap her hiney ensued... L...o... Lzzzz

That is pretty much par for a nicotineisbomb thread. Did you expect anything else?

Sorry I didn't consider "old people" it's an internet meme
"great bait mate I rate 8 out of 8"

If I had to go back in time it would be to "pre-fetus" days, I'm kind of convinced my Creator gave me some "options" as far as what I was willing to sign onto into my life. LOL made some good choices, but there are a few, I might rather go back and say "Uh, no thanks," on that one. LOL.

Or, maybe it was a "mystery bag" deal but I would be asking a hell of a lot more questions before signing my "contract" as it were.

Yet it comes from a book that a 77 year old man (today) wrote in 1976.

My family tells me to go back to vaping but I'm barely smoking and tell them I do it for enjoyment and I'll stop eventually... what do you guys think? Is it really necessary to switch back or no?

I ran a Vape shop for a Doctor and I asked him if one cigarette per day is harmless and his reply stunned me.
A single Puff of a cigarette floods your entire system with Carbon Monoxide.. It is about as damaging a thing as you could do to your brain and circulatory system.

May as well attach a hose to a car exhaust and enjoy that...

No not if you don’t want too. Hell if you are enjoying it then keep it up. Life is too short to deny yourself joy. We are all gonna die somehow, with you, you get to know what kills you. Not everyone gets to know that.

There are no internet memes. There are 'social media' memes. I've been on the internet since early 90's, and they don't find their way to my machine!

They existed on the internet long before social media made a real debut. They were more limited then since user base for certain parts of the inet was far smaller. I'm on the internet about as long as you ^^

Existed where? The internet is connected machines. Not media. They could have existed in an email mailing list, or on a certain usenet cohort, but those are early crude social media. As far as I know, my machine isn't passing around memes...I can be on the computer, connected to the internet, shopping, reading news, emailing, carrying on business, etc. and never hear of a single "meme". The fact that 'everybody' except 'old people' is in on the joke, pretty much verifies the source, and it ain't "the internet".

That wasn't a factual statement, and it quite obviously wasn't. I was a taunting opinionated.

it ain't "the internet".

Nobody said that "the internet" was the source. It's just the main method of spreading, hence it's called "internet meme". It sure isn't radio, television, print media or books.

Actually, it is predominantly radio. Wi-fi and mobile data service are both radio. The internet spreads nothing, people do. Via social media.

 

[ilporcupine]

Before there was internet, there was the chain letter. Party line phones. Social networks just promoted larger gossip circles than the old media.

They're radio waves but they have nothing to do with a radio. Some of them may have a builtin radio or apps that enable them to do radio. But that's not the medium memes are spread in.

Nobody told otherwise.
They're still called "internet memes", if you like it or not.

Well, thanks for that.
